But the new narrative coming from up north is Leo and Kobe are recanting their story and Leo's mom is pissed Mullen drug them in to this.
Take it for what it's worth...

Hopefully they don't pay this crap too much thought and focus on what's important. School and football.
that is exactly how this happens in real life. you always hear the late breaking news, not from your own camp, but from your rivals camp. they seem to have found their stride all of the sudden and im sure this is 100% accurate.
add this to the rue list. it needs to be in there.

Listen, these fools are not even buying their own season tickets: http://nafoom.yuku.com/topic/60424/buy-Ole-Miss-Football-Season-Tickets-year#.WUk6nWjythE
They have all but given up, and we have people like you lapping up their propaganda and spewing it among our own. They are finished, yet you are helping them to hold on to the one thing they have left - tormenting stupid MSU people.

Let's not forget Hugh Freeze still talks to Chris Jones on a 'weekly' basis. I wouldn't be surprised if they are touching base with ex-recruits and ex-recruits' families periodically with an attempt to catch a slip up
Why would they recant?
Wouldn't that add more fuel to the lawsuit against them? That would pretty much prove the case for RR. I can't imagine that any lawyer they have retained would tell them to do this. If anything, it would be the opposite. Sounds like more ********

If any school was ever stupid enough to pay hush money to a rival school's player's family it would be OM.
Every time a new narrative comes out, remind your OM friend of the following information from their response to the NOA.
OM agrees that 7 Level 1 violations occurred.
OM agrees that 4 Level 3 violations occurred.
OM agrees that 2 Level 1 violations occurred but thinks they should be Level 2.
OM agrees that 1 Level 2 violation occurred but thinks it should be Level 3.
In summary, they admit outright to 14 of the 21 violations. The LOIC and Head Coach Responsibility charges, which are both summary type charges and Level 1, will happen even if all of the Leo Lewis and Kobe Jones charges that they dispute go away completely.

I have heard from an impeccable source that Kobe is 100% behind his story, so the new narrative is as true as the all of the previous ones have proven to be.
They keep modifying their talking points enough and eventually they'll hit on something that makes us panic. It appears to be working.
Good Lord....
Kobe was called to give testimony to the NCAA to verify information they already had. Outside of the lawsuit, he is through with the NCAA and will never go in front of them for this matter. Why would he recant anything, since the lawsuit will eventually deteriorate into a "He said" - "We said" pissing contest for RR and the Dixie Dance Kings.
However, the never ending stream of evolving rumors from TSUN certainly add reading matter for the 70 days until football restarts.
Then September comes and we get to read about the weeping and gnashing of TSUN losers who are hit hard right in the face.
That's all I need to hear because it only confirms what I suspected.
It's time to put this crap to bed and start concentrating on OUR upcoming football and basketball seasons and let the guilty worry about their own impending doom.
Every day we buy into their new version of the Leo story is another day distracted from the things we need to be discussing. They are miserable and want to make us just as miserable. Let us not fall for it folks.
I know it is fun to see them finally get hit for the underhanded **** they waved in front of everyone's face, but it is past time to let it go.
Hopefully, I am not the only one who wants to hear more about us and less about them.
School??? who gives a 17 about school. we got football to worry about and only football. we'll keep them eligible as long as they are killing it on the field.
Good call.

Just got off phone with my Ole Miss source. Huge news about to break in Oxford and elsewhere about certain stories being recanted.I hear Hugh Freeze is going to recant his story that Barney was a rogue coach and he knew nothing about what he was doing.
Seriously switch the words 'Ole Miss' w/ Democrats and 'Kobe/Leo' with 'Russia,'
and you wouldn't be able to tell the two fake news stories apart.

Rumor is that the Vatican is going to convene the Cardinals for inclusion of the Book of Hugh in the bible
Life Lessons will be in the Book of Hugh like "Mistakes were Made"
Self Declared "Exemplary Cooperation" will become an admired trait
NCAA will be declared the Devil
Ambulance Chasers will earn angelic wings for threatening to sue minors
McReady, Yancy, Chuck, & Ben will be known as Apostles
SEC Western Division Championships will be strictly forbidden

So Ole Miss sources are now using convicted felons to break stories?
By the way, I'm still waiting for this huge news to break. If any of this were true, there would be a Clarion Ledger EXTRA edition on every street corner right now.
Oh wow. Did not know what you meant with your 1st sentence until I Googled his name. Why anyone would ever believe anything he says is beyond me. More particularly, how does he still have a job?
last year, he was blabbering on twitter about how state was so crooked, and how we'd "get ours", so I asked him how life in prison was for a convicted crook. He blocked me without answering.
for anyone wondering who the latest garbage is coming from... this is @heyscottiemac who has such a good source:

Local Radio Host Bilks Investors
Country boy goes badagain and again. That could be the theme song of sports radio host Charles "Scott" McKinney, who was recently convicted on nine counts of theft and single counts of organized fraud, money laundering and racketeering. The Booneville, Miss. native pleaded guilty on Jan. 2 and could serve up to five years in prison for scamming investors out of more than $178,000.
According to assistant state attorney Russ Edgar, eight of the theft charges involved money taken from investors in McKinney's radio program, Southern Sports Tonight, which broadcasts on The Ticket 98.1. The ninth charge involved him stealing about $10,000 from his ex-fiancee using her credit card.
NOT FIRST SCAM
However, this isn't the first time McKinney, who once worked as an assistant sports information director at the University of Mississippi, has taken money from investors for his radio show. He had run a similar investment scam in Mississippi and Tennessee costing investors hundreds of thousands of dollars before he moved to the Destin area in 2005.
At one time, the Southern Sports Tonight show was heard on nearly 115 stations from Texas to South Carolina. In 2001 and 2002, investors in Mississippi and Tennessee gave McKinney about $140,000 for part-ownership in the show. Edgar's investigation found several judgments against McKinney, including one from the Internal Revenue Service and two from Mississippi banks for defaulted loans.
"HE STOPPED BEING SCOTT"
Ron Higgins worked for McKinney when he broadcast Southern Sports Tonight from Memphis and had known the host when McKinney worked at Ole Miss. Higgins claims that McKinney owes him about $25,000 for work on the show.
"Somewhere along the line he stopped being Scott," Higgins says. "At one time he was this genuine country boy from Mississippi, but somewhere along the line he got in over his head. He tried to live a lifestyle that he wasn't used to and screwed a lot of his friends.
People that trusted him and believed he was genuine. He just screwed all of them.
Somewhere along the line he changed, and it finally caught up with him."
Higgins, who is a sports reporter for the Commercial Appeal, says that when McKinney did pay him, the checks bounced.
"I'd like to feel sorry for him, but at this point I can't, since he has messed over so many people in almost the same way. I am glad the state of Florida finally ran him downit's amazing to me he is still on the air."
DESTIN RESURRECTION
McKinney moved to the Destin area in 2005, following his former sidekick Coach Max Howell to WTKE-FM The Ticket 98.1. Howell left the station, but McKinney resurrected Southern Sports Tonight and formed a series of Florida limited partnerships.
He almost immediately began courting local business owners and sports fans as investors. McKinney told investigators that he believed he could rebuild Southern Sports Tonight into a regionally syndicated program quickly if he could raise $75,000 for the necessary equipment and operating capital to pay for the satellite time, which ranged from $3,500 to $6,500 per month.
From July 2005 to December 2006, McKinney sold and resold 254 percent of his radio program for $209,900. The money was supposedly to pay for equipment and the necessary productions to syndicate the show. Originally McKinney claimed the funds given to him were loans. However, the investors had documents signed by him that proved otherwise.
Brian Campbell of Freeport, Fla. is one such investor. Campbell and his friend Bryan Young paid $50,000 for 49 percent of Southern Sports Tonight, LLC in the summer of 2006. Campbell met McKinney through a mutual friend.
"He's very, very personable and very convincing," Campbell says. "It took me two years to really realize that he is not the sincere good ol' boy that he appears to be."
McKinney signed on Jan. 23, 2007 an absolute sworn statement that he had no other partners except for Thomas Bender and his wife, who owned 5 percent.
But Campbell learned of other investors.
In fact, McKinney had eight other partners that owned from 49 to 51 percent of the business. Davage Runnells, III invested $50,000 in July and August 2005. C. Wayne Jones and Frank Nick, III gave McKinney $50,000 for 49 percent ownership in December 2005. George Seeling and his wife Elizabeth paid $21,000 to own 50 percent of the business. And in December 2006, Sam Cobb and George Brannon, Jr. invested $13,700 together to own 51 percent of the business.
In addition the investors later learned that WTKE owner Ron Hale claimed that his company, Yesterday Radio, LLC, also owned 50 percent of Southern Sports Tonight.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT
Prosecutor Edgar and his investigators discovered that investments were never spent on equipment, marketing or satellite time.
McKinney told Campbell that he had ordered the necessary equipment from Broadcast Worldwide Supply. He even produced receipts indicating the equipment had been purchased. However, when the company was contacted, Broadcast Worldwide Supply said that McKinney hadn't purchased any equipment since 2002.
"McKinney used the money for his personal use," Edgar says. "Hotel rooms, dining, dry cleaning, sports tickets, Ole Miss alumni dues and child support payments to his ex-wife are some of the checks we found when we examined his bank accounts."
GETTING MONEY BACK
Cobb and Brannon did get their investment back. The Seelings and Bryan Young received checks for $2,000 from McKinney. The others will have to wait on McKinney making restitution.
Campbell doesn't expect to get his money back.
"I really don't worry about that," Campbell says. "If I do, I do. If I don't, I don't. Scott has been doing this to a lot of people for a very long time, and it's not fair as a community or society to allow him to continue this."
STILL ON THE AIR
Meanwhile, Scott McKinney is still on the air at WTKE, broadcasting both in the morning and afternoon drive times. He still does promotions for advertisers. When McKinney was arrested in March 2008, Star Broadcasting President Ron Hale issued three days later a news release defending McKinney, citing McKinney's positive influence on the community.
Both McKinney and Hale declined to be interviewed for this article.
When asked how he felt about McKinney remaining on the air, Campbell says, "I don't really care. The show is so irrelevant. Nothing about it is true. It's almost like reading a fictional novel listening to that show.
"It's unfortunate people are still getting suckered and it's hard for me to believe that people still believe Scott."
McKinney's sentencing is set for Feb. 24.
How to avoid investment scams
Assistant State Attorney Russ Edgar offers this advice:
"You must exercise due diligence before investing in a business. Ask for third party documents to verify the financial statements, such as bank statements and IRS transcripts of income tax returns."
And guess what now? He's found Jesus!! Can this guy be any more of a UM stereotype?

From what I've heard tonight I'd read Meridian's post about Kobe very close.They interviewed Kobe and told him if he told the truth he would not be in any trouble...and he told them info they already had.It's the same questions they asked AJ Brown and he denied it.The NCAA is done with Kobe Jones,I doubt the NCAA is done with AJ Brown.It's going to be bad for a number of kids on the Ole Miss end if this RR thing goes to court.
